Re: [COFF] ARPAnet now 4 nodes

Maybe some of these hosts files that Lars Brinkhoff gathered together will help: https://github.com/ttkzw/hosts.txt -----Original Message----- From: COFF <coff-bounces(a)minnie.tuhs.org> On Behalf Of Rob Gingell Sent: Thursday, December 5, 2019 3:41 PM To: Larry McVoy <lm(a)mcvoy.com> Cc: coff(a)minnie.tuhs.org Subject: Re: [COFF] ARPAnet now 4 nodes On 12/5/2019 11:05 AM, Larry McVoy wrote: There's another list of the membership (but not the addresses) under 1971 but the descriptions peter out after that. I was doing some digging for old HOSTS.TXT files, one of which would give a roughly chronological order, and a sequence of which would allow for reconstructing the history, but didn't come up with anything. Well, I did find one file from 1973 that seemed to have the information but the trouble is that file was a document scan that stopped after the first page. Once internetworking experiments started there were sequences of "assigned number" RFCs that showed the evolution of internetworking and component networks but I came up empty looking for just the plain old HOSTS.TXT files. Admittedly a couple of the maps are hard to process even with zooming in but a lot of them are very readable even to my old eyes. And yeah, they don't answer the history question except by inference through visual comparison. Just couldn't find anything better. _______________________________________________ COFF mailing list COFF(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/coff
